The First Indulgence: A Tasting Menu of Terror is an illustrated horror anthology inspired by the Narrative Feast writing challenge created by Bradley Ramsey. Across apocalyptic, paranormal, psychological, and cosmic horror, each story in this collection is offered as an indulgence to Lord Devereaux, the Devourer of tales. These works explore fear, grief, obsession, and wonder, blending community-driven storytelling with striking visual design. This anthology was created as a fundraiser in direct support of Bradley Ramsey. All proceeds benefit him as a gesture of gratitude and respect for his creativity, mentorship, and ongoing work within the horror and writing communities.
